Download or read book Inflated written by R. Christopher Whalen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans as a whole view themselves as reasonably prudent and sober people when it comes to matters of money, reflecting the puritan roots of the earliest European settlers. Yet as a community, we also seem to believe that we are entitled to a lifestyle that is well-beyond our current income, a tendency that goes back to the earliest days of the United States and particularly to get rich quick experiences ranging from the Gold Rush of the 1840s to the real estate bubble of the early 21st Century. Inflated examines this apparent conflict and makes the argument that such a world view is so ingrained in us that to expect the United States to live in a "deflated" world is simply unrealistic. It skillfully seeks to tell the story of, money inflation and public debt as enduring (and perhaps endearing) features of American life, rather than something we can one day overcome as our policy makers constantly promise. Features interviews with today's top financial industry leaders and insiders. Offer a glimpse into the future of the Federal Reserve and the role it will play in the coming years Examines what the future may hold for the value of the U.S. dollar and the real incomes of future generations of Americans The gradual result of the situation we find ourselves in will inevitably lead to inflation, loss of economic opportunity, and a decline in the value of the dollar. This book will show you why, and reveal how we might be able to deal with it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple, inexpensive method has been developed for air-launching constant-level plastic balloons in rapid succession from a transport-type aircraft. The entire launch system is palletized upon one 24 ft-modular airdrop platform; no alterations to the aircraft are needed. The balloon, encased in a nylon bag, is inflated inside the aircraft, and extracted by parachute. The bag then falls away, releasing the balloon and payload. Four regular crew members can inflate and launch several 8-ft diam, polyethylene balloons at 10-min intervals from a C-130 aircraft flying at speeds up to 130 knots and at altitudes up to 10,000 feet.

Download or read book Artificial Epidemics How Medical Activism Has Inflated the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer and Depression written by Stewart Justman and published by Now and Then Reader LLC. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Early detection” has become a cardinal principle of medical treatment in our time. But how effective is it in controlling two conditions that have reached near-epidemic proportions in the United States—prostate cancer and depression? In this trenchant appraisal of what he calls medical activism, Stewart Justman describes how the quest for early detection has led to mass screenings, which in turn have revealed an incidence of disease that is beyond common sense and cautious medical practice. The entire process has led to patients who have been not helped but damaged.
